This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Contact complained of a lot of problems with the car. There was a new water pump/new battery cables/ new brakes/rotors, and pads on the car. Also, put in a new heater coil. They did something to the air conditioner, and it will cost approximately $500-600 to fix it. Currently there is an electrical problem. While driving down the street the car automatically shuts off. It is an electrical problem because they have replaced the lights in the car and they shorted out. Consumer was told there was an electrical problem.
The consumer shifted from park into drive with brake depressed and the vehicle accelerated forward with a roaring noise colliding with a light pole. The brakes failed to stop the vehicle and the vehicle was totaled.
I tried for over a mile to disengage the cruise control with the switch and brake. I started on level land, went uphill and down and had the brake to the floorboard. There were toll booths with a number of occupied vehicles in line. To avoid injurying or killing someone, I left the roadway hitting barriers and unoccupied vehicles. My wife suffered numerous bruising and bent glasses. I suffered a broken strernum and have developed fluid in my lungs and possibly around my heart. My prognosis is uncertain at this time.
